Re-activateLuxury hotels and budget-friendly chains alike are giving travelers what they want—and that's evidently all the technological bells and whistles they have at home. You're almost as likely to find an LCD TV, Wi-Fi, high-end audio systems, and other high-tech touches as you are a mile-high mattress and a minibar.
Case in point: The Pierre, a venerable name on the New York hotel scene, is reopening in a few weeks with 40-inch TVs and Bose Wave Music Systems with iPod docking stations, as well as Wi-Fi, according to the New York Times.
In other hotels, you'll find Wii or PlayStation gaming systems, projection screens, fully loaded Macs, and more, according to Digital Trends, a tech lifestyle Web site.
And it's not just pricey pads that offer such perks. Even Motel 6, a name synonymous with low rates, has LCD TVs and Wi-Fi.
If you're traveling this Memorial Day weekend or planning for your summer vacation, do these amenities matter when you're choosing a hotel? Do you use them? Are there any other perks that are still missing? Let us know. —Eileen McCooey
